The act re-establishing the bounty on noxious animals bas been approved by the governor, and the following is the schedule: Wildcat $1 00, fox $2.00, weasel or mink $1.00.

' ' Our exchanges are warning tbe wom en to be on the lookout for a slick young man who visits tbe homes and displays a sample of a shirt waist which he claims to give with an order of toilet soap of $1.00. The shirt waist is all right and worth twice as much as tbe soap, but it will not be delivered until May 10th, or whatever date tbe young man may set. In the meantime be requests a paymeut of fifty cents as a guarantee of good faith on tbe part of tbe good housewife, and if the bites that'a the last she sees of afore said young man and the fifty cents it's gone, never never to return.

Tbe state food commissioner has said In answer to Inquiries: "Anything sold as lemonade, orange cider or sweet cider must be pure. No citric acid or coloring matter will be permitted. All artificial drinks must be labeled artifical or their sale will be stop ped. Oftentimes lemonade and orange ci- dor are made with citric acid, water, sugar and extracts. All Btich must be labeled 'artificial.' Then the public may buy what it wants. Ice cream will be watch ed also as this article often is greatly adulterated."

Friday, while loading a train with logs on the Watson Lands Lumber Co.'s property in the woods above May burg, tbe train broke away and a bad smash-up occurred. Tbe road bas a pretty heavy grade trom tbe woods to tbe mill, and whon tbe train of eight cars bad boon loaded the great weight parted the chain which held it and the cars started down the track, gathering momeutum with each turn of tbe wheels until a velocity of about 50 miles per hour was reached, and at this rate of speed the train came into Mayburg yards a distance of a mile and a half, where it piled up in a confused mass of wreckage. When tbe workmen on the cars found their train bad gotten beyond control tbey jumped off and thus saved their lives. No one was hurt, which is rather remarkable considering the ter rific speed with which the train came into the mill yards, where more or less uieu are generally stationed. The los- to the company in tbe smashing of the cars, etc., will foot up about $1,000. PERSONAL. -Mrs. J. C. Dunn went to Oil City Monday for a short visit. - Mrs, S. S.

While bears are not supposed to be plentiful in Forest county at this season of the year, and at least not doing much roaming about, it will be well for trout fishermen to be a little on the lookout Just the same, Jake Coleman, of Oak dale, Pa., a former Forest county boy, takes great delight in returning at least once a year to bis old haunts and com muning with nature while interviewing tbe trout streams of this locality, but wo doubt whether be will ever again have tbe temerity to tackle the job alone. One day last week be was pursuing bis favor ite pastime up on a branch of Ross run, and bad succeeded in lifting out a dozen or so of the legal size. While hunched down on tbe bank of the stream at a nice pool and expecting every moment that a big one would take hold, he heard a "snort" that sounded something like the grunt of a bog. Casting his eye over his shoulder what should he see but a mon strous big bear, reared up on bis "bunk ers" as if ready to make a dash at him. There was a dilemma at once, and Jake was a part of It. Just then something took hold of his line. Now, Jake makes no pretention toward any knowledge of bear and their habits, but be does know all about the bite of a trout, size included, and what to do nnder the circumstances was a poser. There was little time to think. With tin hair raising his hat at one extremity and tbe fish tugging at the other end, something had to be done and that quickly. Coleman did the most natural thing landed the trout. And then a thought struck him. He'd make up with the bear. Throwing the fish at the bear's feet the ferocious animal de voured It at a single gulp, but that did not satisfy bim, and soon the fisherman had another, and this be also fed to the bear. In tbe meantime be thought he would move on a little. Along came the bear also, and as Jake stopped to "drop in" at another pool the bear resumed bis former position but at much closer range. After throwing out a lew more trout Jake found that the bear was still quite hungry, and thinking if he would till bim up at once the bear might leave bim, be unbooked bis basket and threw that. With a snort the bear ripped tbe lid off and qnickly devoured tbe whole catch, but still refused to leave, but on tbe con trary began ambling up closer, and with bis hair now raising so last as to almost pull themselves out of root Coleman made another quick decision. He pushed tbe butt of bis pole toward tbe bear, and the bear quietly seized it, sat down on bis bunkers and began to fish and Jake "took up over the hill." Kellettrllle. Mrs. C. L. Berlin and daughter, Mrs. Robert Downey, are visiting at Whig HH1. Mrs. R.J. Montgomery intends leav ing Tuesday for Brookville, where she will visit ber parents for a few weeks.
